Apparently we will go in for the kill for Leander Dendoncker, bidding between £27-30m for him?

If true, exciting signing!

He'd be a solid signing if he came, we are short of both numbers and quality in central midfield. Fellaini looks like he is off and Carrick is struggling to stay fit. Add that to Herrera's drop in form that leaves us with just Pogba and Matic as fit and on form midfielders. Dendoncker would be a very good addition.

If we got him and Lucas Moura in January that would be an excellent January in my opinion.

Very good player. Would be a great addition. I agree shappy, I'd be happy with those 2 if they were to come. Equally happy with none though and to see the side being strengthened in the summer.

Hey Ed002, you're probably getting an abundance of messages right now regarding this but I was hoping if you could share any info you know regarding this Sanchez bid?

I personally don't believe it's going to happen but it would be great to hear any information you might know about it.

Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - On the basis of something that was discussed this morning, it seems likely that Manchester United are showing an interest in Sanchez but it is unlikely to be a straight cash offer they are putting forward.

As to whether it would happen, wages might be one issue and Sanchez is looking to leave to win championships etc.. Manchester City are better placed to offer a solution to both of those issues.}

Thanks for the info Ed. Sorry for asking but I don’t suppose you could elaborate on what was discussed this morning could you? I appreciate you’re probably sick of answering Sanchez related questions but will be interesting to see what’s changed. Many thanks as always!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It is unimportant.}

11 Jan 2018 15:42:30
So if United make an offer for Sanchez it's likely we'll offer Mkhitaryan as has been reported?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I don't know what has been reported but it is one possibility.}

11 Jan 2018 16:04:55
Okay Ed, no worries! Thanks for the info.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jan 2018 17:03:32
Sorry if this is a stupid question Ed, but would Man Utd make an offer for AS if they knew the player was only interested in going to Man City/ had no interest in coming to Man Utd?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - I don't know. Who has said all of that?}

11 Jan 2018 21:30:36
Would be a fantastic addition. Wonderful player. Di Marzio reported it today, usually pretty reliable. But sounds like it is up to both clubs to come to an agreement.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Jan 2018 01:05:30
I said at the beginning of the season we should had gone for Sanchez.
Without a doubt we’d been a much bigger threat to City.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Jan 2018 07:52:03
Thanks Ed, appreciate your input.

Will be interesting if we do get hold of him as he's made it clear he wants to win titles and City are definitely a more suitable option for him. Money talks however.

Any truth in United going in for Alexis Sanchez Ed002? Thanks.

So redman, Glazers have granted you your wish. it seems we have contacted Arsenal for Sanchez - happy now?

Has all the hallmarks of a Sanchez Snubs MUFC for MCFC headline for the papers.

Quickly followed by a load of think pieces/ columns about how this is another signal that man city are racing ahead of united in every conceivable area.

DSG,

Thought exactly the same mate, no excitement on this one from me unfortunately.

I was wondering all the time. why we aren't in for him. than I said myself that may be he isn't get in well with Jose from Barcelona time. but if someone need him more than its us. he is deadly and very smart in final third. and works really hard for the team. I will take him on wings any day. anytime.
But even I guess he looks city bound.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jan 2018 15:59:03
I'm sure I remember one of the Ed's saying he left Barcelona because of Messi.

Agree0 Disagree0

If it's agent spreading bs woody needs to do a briefing like he did when atletico ban news came before any agreement with city but if it is true I think we have a good chance of signing him, only thing city guarantee that we don't is a pl medal this season something we can clearly convince him to forego. We if actually go through with our rebuild well we should win a pl title in next 2 seasons and we would offer him guaranteed starting spot unlike city.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree csm and he is the exact sort of player who should be wearing our number 7 shirt.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jan 2018 16:48:59
I'm pretty sure when he went to Barcelona the papers were awash with either him or his dad being a United fan.

Agree1 Disagree0

11 Jan 2018 17:12:40
I'm sure if we are showing an interest then there will be a level of reciprocal feeling from the player .

I'm not really sure why everyone is so certain he will end up at city.

If we got him it would be a great signing and likewise for city but I'm sure we are still an attractive proposition to any player.

Agree1 Disagree1

I think the funniest part of this story is a few papers adding liverpool to this saga imagine the options sanchez has, want a pl medal this season and lots of money pick city, want a chance at pl medal in future seasons and even more money pick utd, you want neither trophies nor money, well you know what is left on the table.

CSM

It wasn’t actually Sanchez in particular, I was pointing out that we need to recruit at the top level, especially if our opposition are doing that. Sanchez is a top level player and if there is a deal for him then it could be good. We shall see if the manager thinks there is a fit in our team and more important if this is a real opportunity. We shall see.

Agree1 Disagree1

12 Jan 2018 12:43:53
We have done that especially since Mou has signed up redman, matic, pogba, lukaku, failed attempt to get griezmann and there seems to be interest in signing dybala these are all top level talents we are trying to or have signed.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jan 2018 12:53:59
Apparently we have put in a bid for Sanchez.

Made my day hearing that.

Have any of you fellas heard that jose has been keeping a watching brief on a striker called moussa marega, just had a gander on youtube, jeez, he looks like lukaku on steroids, he looks a big old unit!

Site of YouTube wasn't promising. I mean you tube can make anyone look superman but his videos were like very average.
But still if our scouts are interested than I guess they might have seen perfect.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Jan 2018 16:08:33
I'm not saying he's the answer for sure, like you say, you tube could make jeremy corben look like a tory, could just be smoke and mirrors, but if he's cheap as chips, maybe someone you bring on with 20 minutes to go to bulldoze the opposition, or use instead of lukaku if injured, tired, or off suing someone!
